GOOD-BYE, JESSIE.
A Monody to the memory of Miss Jessie
simpsonwho died at Summitville, Tenn,
Friday, Jan. 7, 1887.


BY P, PH.
This day they have buried my treasure
Where oft we have playfully trod,
My beauty beyond mortal measure
Too soon to be pressed by the sod.
Otlght in the lovely tomorrow,
Refracted but beauteous ray,
You leave us the burdening sorrow,
The darkness that follows the day.
Too bleak was the breath of December
To nurture dahlia so pure;
You have gone to the blest, but remember
You leave us the brunt to endure.
The miscreant Death, ere he prest you,
Concealed not his signs as he stood,
But the angels rejoiced and carressed you,
To give you the home of the good.
You have gone from the sinful and fleeing,
Where never temptation allures;
In Heaven will next be our meeting
If our lives are asperfect as yours.
You have gone to world where your
equals
And likes your companions will be;
Where love is your life and the sequels
OF truth are the joys you will see.
You have gone from the suffering and dying,
Where love is born but to be crossed;
But think of the hearts that are signing,
And mine that is wounded the most
o Jessie, beloved but immortal,
Turn back but to soothe the bereft
Look, love, from your spiritual portal
As we walk in the light you have left
Goodbye, my beloved beyond measure,
Your pean is heard from above;
Your smile that was most of our pleasure,
Now beams on the angels Of love.
Goodbye but the laurel shall ever
Bloom over your dust as in May,
And know from our loving hearts never
will fade the first memory away.

which illness usually takes the form of
heat exhaustion, heat apoplexy, or gen
uine sunstroke, the themic-fever of
some writer's.
Those who are exhausted by the heat
have cool, most skin, rapid. weak
pulse and respiration movement, and
the pupil is dilated. In fact, the symp-
toms are those of collapse. These
patients will probably recover prompt
ly, an event which may be fastened by
the use of tonic and restorative treat
ment.
Those who suffer from heat apoplexy
frequently become unconscious at the on
set. The heart and breathing apparatus
are not markedly disturbed and the
pupil may be normal, but the uncon-
seriousness deepens, and the case runs
on to fatal termination. An artery
has been broken in the brain, and the
poured-out blood pressing on the nerve
centers brings about the fatal event. A
treatment calculated to draw the blood
from the brain to the extremities-ho
foot baths, bleeding, etc, promises to
be the most useful i'm such cases.

UPON THE STEPS.

I've travelled far and wandered wide
And many places seen,
I've SKINNED me DER the bright blue sea,
And danced upon the green;
But all the pleasures yet I've had
Cannot with truth compare
with those winged moments we did share
That night upon the steps.
Inc August moon was beaming down
With sweet effulgent grace,
And ike sanity halo crowned
Her dainty head and face,
While from the grass the crickets sent
Their music TO our ears,
And silenced quick all doubling fears,
That night upon the steps
ANA We've been married many years,
In joy and sorrow too,
For life Is not all pleasantness,
Though youth says this is true;
But still for US the moonlight shines
As dearly as of Old,
Its silvery recOllectiOns hold
That night upon the steps.
